Köyceğiz

Köyceğiz lies at the northern end of the lake bearing its name, among wooded hills of southwestern Anatolia. The lake drains through the reed-lined Dalyan channel toward the Mediterranean, passing the ancient city of Kaunos. Streams descend from the mountains into the basin, and the waterway gives the inland lake a connection to the sea. Villages occupy the surrounding slopes and the flatter land near the shore.
